During this unprecedented year of Covid-19 pandemic the Charity Trustees flexed quickly to use technology to continue to deliver the business of the Charity including:

• continuing to deal with various aspects of the Charity's land estate such as: o the continued registration of land holdings to protect the Charity land assets for the future

• maximising opportunities to attract and invest income, granting easements over Charity land, acquiring and disposing of land in accordance with its Charitable scheme dated 27 June 1990 and Charity Commission guidance, further enhancing the Charity's land portfolio for the future benefit of the Charity and its beneficiaries

• planned and ad hoe maintenance required to Charity land, particularly manorial droves and verges including instances of maintenance for landholders' as a gesture of good will to the local community

• continuing to seek advice as appropriate from the Charity's professional land agents for all land transactions and land management advice

• a review of current and proposed future ways of working including the development of a programme of continuous improvement for the Charity to provide resilience and appropriate ways of working for the benefit of the Charity and its future Trustees. During this year the current Trustees have:

• invested in IT to provide appropriate equipment to support current ways of working

• moved to online banking for the benefit of the Charity and its tenants and beneficiaries

• set up sub-committees for land management (including the management of the Town Hall), finance, IT, and administration

• continued to further develop the knowledge and skills of the current Trustees with information events and meetings

• once again being able to make grants during the year of £48,600 to applicants within our area of benefit. This has been particularly important during this pandemic year.

The Charity continues to be satisfied that the Trustees have carried out their responsibilities and obligations to the wide cross section of people and organisations within its area of benefit.
